development and change-management positions. For those who are working in HR departments of local organizations of
Pakistan, this program will help out in performing their OD activities.
The Certified Organization Development Specialist (CODS) is a program that provides comprehensive knowledge to the
process and core practices of Organization Development (OD). This program links the theory of Organization Development
with the practical OD initiatives of corporate sector. This is a Four Months Evening Program that emphasizes the practical
OD related skills and knowledge used throughout in the field of Organization Development. This certification program

course and pass the required examination are recognized as Certified Organization Development Specialist and are
